Based on the novella by Rudyard Kipling, The Man Who Would Be King has book and lyrics by DJ Salisbury and music by Neil Berg (me). Set during the late 1800s, this action packed morality tale tells the story of two rogue soldiers who set out to find a remote society in the Hindu Kush with the intent to abscond with the treasures reported to have been left behind by Alexander the Great, but instead find greater respect and purpose than they could ever have imagined.
The fully orchestrated concept album is orchestrated by Tony Award winner Larry Hochman (Spamalot, The Addams Family) and conducted/music directed by Wendy Bobbitt Cavett (conductor for Broadway’s Come From Away). (Source: Facebook)
